The man who brought Italian gelato and famous Chicago-style pizza to the Houston Heights is about to open up a proper Italian grocery store in the neighborhood. Louie Comella is opening Italian American Grocery on Tuesday morning at 11 a.m., next door to his Gelazzi gelato and pizza shop located at 3601 White Oak.

The shop will have roughly the same hours as Gelazzi and will soon offer up delivery of pizza, sandwiches, ready-made pasta, lasagna, dessert, as well as craft beer and wine in a limited geographic area. Heights-area beer lovers will especially enjoy the local and Texas craft beer on the shelves, along with some select craft beers from around the country.
